Christford Affadu Danful, popularly known as Ekow Black, has been arraigned before the Adabraka Magistrate Court over an alleged domestic abuse incident.
The 25-year-old unemployed man has been charged with assault, contrary to Section 84 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
According to the prosecution, Ekow Black is accused of assaulting Rachel Oduro without her consent, with the intent to cause harm and pain. The alleged incident occurred on November 30, 2026, within the Accra Magisterial District, where the complainant was reportedly subjected to a severe beating.
The case gained public attention after a video of the alleged assault went viral on social media. However, the accused has argued that the incident took place several months ago.
In addition to the assault charge, Ekow Black is also facing further charges, including threats to distribute intimate images and sextortion.
The court granted the accused bail in the sum of GH₵30,000 with sureties, and he is expected to reappear before the court on February 10, 2026.
